P400--436-24-105 Miles City VA Campus Demolition

The contract solicitation numbered 36C25926R0047, titled P400--436-24-105 Miles City VA Campus Demolition, is issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19, with a firm-fixed-price anticipated contract type and a 365-day performance period beginning upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed. The scope of work centers on the demolition of structures at the Miles City VA Campus, including foundation removal to one foot below grade with specific exceptions for piles, which are only to be removed if they extend above one foot below grade; clarified amendments to Question 55b affirm that pile removal is excluded unless they protrude beyond this threshold, requiring contractors to reference as-built drawings to identify known locations of deep foundations and pile footings, particularly in Building 1. The solicitation mandates strict compliance with federal and VA-specific clauses including those governing small business subcontracting limits, Buy American requirements for construction materials, sustainable products, and security prohibitions, with numerous clauses containing deviations from standard FAR provisions, especially under VAAR. Offerors must satisfy two mandatory Go/No-Go compliance factors: an Experience Modification Rate of 1.0 or less, and full adherence to VAAR 852.219-75 regarding limitations on subcontracting, with failure in either resulting in immediate disqualification. Past performance evaluation, assessed on a confidence scale from Substantial to Unknown, holds significantly greater weight than price and determines eligibility for best-value award under a trade-off process, allowing selection over the lowest-priced offeror based on demonstrated performance reliability. Proposals must be submitted in four volumes via email to robyn.young2@va.gov by the deadline of May 29, 2026, with a total file size not exceeding 15 MB, and must include EMR documentation, a certified subcontracting compliance statement, past performance evidence for up to five relevant projects, and a completed price schedule—all without incorporation by reference. Packaging and sample handling must comply with 49 CFR Parts 173 and 178, and EPA-prescribed chemical preservation methods for regulated materials, while all work must meet VA, ASTM, OSHA, and EPA standards, with inspections performed at the project site by the Government and contractor jointly. Invoicing is directed to the VA Financial Service Center in Austin, TX, and although the contract value is unspecified due to missing pricing data,
